Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 24, 2026 —
Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from a WNBA game on Tuesday night following a confrontation with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud. The incident occurred during a game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
Freedom, who was in attendance and wearing a shirt with a message referencing “woman,” was asked to leave the venue by security personnel. The ejection followed an interaction with Sky guard Natasha Cloud, who approached Freedom during a timeout and engaged in a verbal altercation.
The event takes place against a backdrop of ongoing conversations and debates surrounding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports. Freedom has previously been vocal on various issues and had, at one point, declared himself eligible for the WNBA draft.
Details regarding the specific message on Freedom’s shirt and the exact nature of the confrontation with Cloud were not immediately provided. Security intervened after Cloud approached Freedom, leading to the decision for him to be removed from the game.
